I'm making curtains to go around the bed. I've calculated that I will need six panels plus the "roof". The idea is to make a starry sky on the inside.

I had two dark blue sheets and bought silver paint. Since it was a kind of a spur of the moment thing I did it the kiddie way. I made a star shaped potato stamp! It gave me the basic shape and then I just went at it with a brush.

I do other things aside from textile adventures and loppis hunting, sometimes I also bake. I love to make tasty treats but rarely make the time and effort. My mother is a fantastic cook and the amount of knowledge stored in her brain just amazes me. I realize that she wont be around forever and I need to learn as much as I can from her, so this christmas my mother agreed to teach and help me make the traditional wafer "Gorån" (good wafer). This is result:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The recipe:<br />
(which is supposed to make 35 - we got about 60)<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">210g melted butter - my mother uses the normal salted kind.<br />200g sugar<br />2 eggs<br />2 eggyolks<br />400g wheat flour<br />1 tsk hjorthornssalt (Ammonium Carbonate) What this is is explained here: <a href="http://www.swedishfood.com/hjorthornssalt">http://www.swedishfood.com/hjorthornssalt</a></span></span><br />
Edit: I now have learned that in german it is called Hirschhornsalz.<br />
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">Traditionally this was made in a cast iron thingy with pretty patterns that would press into the wafer:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"> </span></span><img alt="http://mm.dimu.org/image/012s83zdvkcN?dimension=1200x1200" class="shrinkToFit" height="311" src="https://mm.dimu.org/image/012s83zdvkcN?dimension=1200x1200" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">When I grew up my grandmother still used hers, but my mother had an aluminium one that made three at a time but the inner one often got too hot and overbaked so she only made two at a time. Now technology has entered the house and my mother owns this electric iron:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"> </span></span><img alt="Thérèse Petterssons foto." class="spotlight" height="320" src="https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15894765_10154381010239007_1785599110309396179_n.jpg?oh=399ba5b39d5653c08089bf761517d2bb&oe=5913B629" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">It has the benefit of controlled temperature and lights that signals when it is ready to do what it should! Very efficient compared to the traditional ones.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">The
dough is the part where the experience really comes into play. I had no
idea about how the dough should look and feel when ready. Depending on
what type of iron you are using you either want the dough loose enough
to expand into all the crevices or hard enough to beable to use the
rolling pin and make a sheet as thin as you can while still be able to
handle it...carefully...</span></span><br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">According to the mother it is the depth of the pattern that determines if you roll out the dough or make a sausage that will expand into the wafer iron. The expanding kind is also often a thicker wafer than what you can make in the electrical one.</span></span><br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><br /></span></span>
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">So
depending on what type of iron you are using, make the dough
accordingly. The amount of flour is what you adjust to get the dough you
need.. Since the dough has to sit overnight it is much, much looser
when you first make it than it will be the next day. This reminds me a
lot of how our gingerbread cookie dough behaves. The dough is best kept
in the fridge, and we kept ours in the fridge during the bake since when
it gets warmer it also softens and gets almost impossible to handle. Another benefit of keeping it in the fridge was that my father was not able to steal as much of it as he would have liked.</span></span><br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><br /></span></span>
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">Dough ready, iron warmed up I got to do the rolling. I took just enough dough to make one bake in the iron and with liberal use of more flour I got it really nice and thin. My mother has a template in plastic that she uses when cutting the rolled out dough. The template is the size of the finished wafer but you cut away the excess dough so its about 1-2 cm larger than the template. Carefully place it in the iron - there is no chance to move it after it has touched the iron so place it right! Now my mother took over and this time the wafer was done in about a minute and a half. Nice golden color is what you want, and it quickly burns. Then you immediately cut away the excess so you end up with the nice wafer - and a lot of remnants. Those can keep hungry dads at happy despite not being able to get to the dough.</span></span><br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">This is what we ended up with:</span></span>

What will you need:<br />
<br />
paper (newspaper will work) and pen <br />
<br />
Wool suitable for socks<br />
<br />
Tailors chalk<br />
<br />
ruler<br />
<br />
pins<br />
<br />
scissors <br />
<br />
and preferably a second set of eyes and hands since it is harder to get a good fit on your own.<br />
<br />
<br />
Start out on paper by making a sole - draw around your foot while standing:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmpApfu90Pm2gywQJFLNcng7aCS8fDOmMjYFqZaUiw27JbaNRA84pWnEFLmn_qmo0GoTQMmZ9gTSk2EGcNqNEgJDR7jQ_nRI49apqx59K-wJRWZVum5Kl3i71ObyH9qGVp9HBON9RqHWg/s640/blogger-image-443636460.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmpApfu90Pm2gywQJFLNcng7aCS8fDOmMjYFqZaUiw27JbaNRA84pWnEFLmn_qmo0GoTQMmZ9gTSk2EGcNqNEgJDR7jQ_nRI49apqx59K-wJRWZVum5Kl3i71ObyH9qGVp9HBON9RqHWg/s320/blogger-image-443636460.jpg" title="" width="239" /></a></div>
Measure across your fot at the highest point and note the number somewhere<span style="color: #0000ee;">. </span>Mark that corresponding line out as well on the paper. Measure around the back of the sole - the measuremant from those points - you can just make out that notation on my pattern. I also took the measurement from the toe to the point where the flap will bend - app. where foot becomes leg I guess.<br />
You now have your sole pattern:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4t42eJAst0KQ5_6KY30gjVefdO9qY98xDRz45aOykzT10pvAWuDKEXJcCRDupEKkAXH3lnZZTs57PCZ5TpHm9FH2NyhoGyhekaAlrcNBA1brceRZoGtGGEcEPas3DFXTjSkZWCX3JWt0/s640/blogger-image-2077376952.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4t42eJAst0KQ5_6KY30gjVefdO9qY98xDRz45aOykzT10pvAWuDKEXJcCRDupEKkAXH3lnZZTs57PCZ5TpHm9FH2NyhoGyhekaAlrcNBA1brceRZoGtGGEcEPas3DFXTjSkZWCX3JWt0/s320/blogger-image-2077376952.jpg" width="239" /></a> </div>
<br />
making the top:<br />
<br />
Draw out the flap: Mine is almost square: 9 cm at the top and 8 cm at the bottom, which gives the pattern a slight angle but in reality the flap will end up square when hemmed.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugh6SU7fzmWtG5r5JLh3NOsne3nIRV_HOp294cerO3n4TQn47ydKpDTm_gsOsp3mgfsX-8pKlF507xZSkzD8g5tLROniNhrZMkIO0B1sA44wl3aM8VKDps4QI5e87yCf0u2vLwokabF8/s640/blogger-image-865389014.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugh6SU7fzmWtG5r5JLh3NOsne3nIRV_HOp294cerO3n4TQn47ydKpDTm_gsOsp3mgfsX-8pKlF507xZSkzD8g5tLROniNhrZMkIO0B1sA44wl3aM8VKDps4QI5e87yCf0u2vLwokabF8/s320/blogger-image-865389014.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0000ee;">Use the m</span>easurement
from the planned position of where the flap will end up on your leg to
the top of your toes - mark that point on the paper.<br />
<br />
Use the second measurement from your highest point all around the heel and divide in half - add those as the "back flaps". I drew at right angles a 10 cm line on each side. That will probably work well for all adult feet.<br />
<br />
Then raw
a rough likeness of the pattern I have adjusted to your measurements -
add a hefty seam allowance to make you able to adjust the fit as needed.<br />
You now should have something looking like this:<br />

Now it is time to do it in wool fabric!<br />
cut out and add remember to have seam allowance in the wool fabric. - you really will need have something to grab hold of when pinning.<br />
<br />
Now the fun starts:<br />
<br />
Pin
the back seam so you can comfortably get in and out of your sock but still
have it looking like you can have a reasonable fit:<br />

<br />
Sew that
seam - I did this when I made the first pattern with looong stitches on the machine - but only because
it was loaded and ready - otherwise it is as quick to do a simple seam
by hand. Reason for basting is that pins hurt...and you will have enough
pins to worry about anyway!<br />

Put on the top pattern,
place the sole piece on the floor, then place your foot on top of it and
and start pinning them together! (this is where you
either are an octopus or have an assistant)<br />
Make sure that you pin close to the floor or you will end up with a seam higher up wich usually is not comfy at all! You also may have to adjust your back seam at this point. Just make sure you can remove the sock!<br />

When
you think you have a good fit; carefully remove the sock.<br />
<br />
You most likely will have quite a lot of excess fabric:<br />

Sew along the sole. Double check that you have a good
fit. You can now trim the sewing allowances down to be ready for felling. I make the sewing allowance of the sole be a few mm longer so they will cover the tops when felled.<br />
<br />
Now - sorry, but there is no other way - take the sock apart. Either keep this as your pattern - or make a paper one by drawing out a copy of your sock.<br />

I had also seen my friend Petronilla of London's photos of a linen sock from Regensburg. In appearance it reminded me a lot of the 16th c shoes Erik had made for me. I used that pattern for a toile and fitted the first attempt: </div>

Make a new one!a.k.a "The pillow case hat" - and this too is up on my old blog:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>This is the most basic of all the hats.
Pattern's dead easy, just one big square, the only finicky stage is when
you fit it around your head but otherwise i'ts just straight lines and
not that many of them to make this type of hat:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/000158p2" style="height: 292px; width: 305px;" /> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><img alt="" border="0" height="295" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/00016phw" width="335" /> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><u>Instructions:</u></span></span><br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Cut two pieces 35cm X 70cm. Put the right sides towards each other. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Sew
along the edge with your usual seam allowance. Leave an opening so you
can turn it inside out. Trim the corners and turn. You may want to iron
it flat depending on the fabric. Fold it in half. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Here
comes the trickiest part of the construction, and the hardest to
describe in writing: You are now going to prepare the hat for the side
seams. What you need to figure out is how high your brim is going to be.
I folded mine so it’s 14cm high. Put a pin as a marker on all side
edges. That will mark the bottom edge (the fold) of the hat. If you’d
sew it together along the sides it’d be way to large and if you look
closely at the pictures the brim looks likes it overlaps. So adjust the
size of the hat by overlapping on both sides. I chose to let the front
piece overlap on both sides. Pin it along the edge both on the inside
and outside. Sew it together both on the inside and the outside with as
invisible stitches as you can manage. Fold the brim into position and
continue to stitch the brims together about 4-5 cm. This will help the
brim to stay up and not flop down even without some nice pin to adorn
the hat.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>The hat is ready to add the bling! </span></span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Instructions:</span></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Cut 4 pieces of A, remember to add seam allowance! Take your 4 brim pieces.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Sew
the four A pieces together along the sides. Fell the seams. Fold the
hem and sew it down. You may want to shorten the bottm sides. To get the
brim to look good I only had about 1 cm before the bulge started (after
hemming).</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Fold
one of the brim pieces, a bit uneven, on one side of the fold you
should have about 2c more fabric. This to make it easier to attach to
the hat part. </span><span> Sew along the
sides. Trim and turn inside out. Repeat with the other 3. Pin the pieces
to the bottom edge of the hat. Fold in the bottom edge and sew it to
the inside.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>If you do nothing more this is what it looks like: </span></span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>To
make the brim stay up. Make 4 ties. I finger looped mine, but you can
make them any way you want. Make little bows and sew them to the brim.
Mine are attached about halfway up the “split” and have aiglets at the
ends.Now it should look something like this:</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><img alt="" border="0" height="480" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0000xx90/s640x480" width="270" /> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><img alt="" border="0" height="480" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0000eg69/s640x480" width="270" /> </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><span>There are images where the brim has even
more splits, so you kan adapt this to your liking. And for the ties you
can use plain string without aiglets or to be even more extravagant make
them out of a wider silk ribbon!</span> </span></span></span></div>

I'm not entirely happy with this one and have some ideas on how to inmprove the look and construction to more closely resemble the images, but here is the first version of the Schlappe:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/00019zsk" style="height: 232px; width: 342px;" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0001awwx" style="height: 233px; width: 256px;" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is a type of headwear I've so far
only seen worn by men, if anyone out there has proof for this beeing
worn by women in period please share!<br /><br /><br />To make a pattern was a bit more tricky: this is what I came up with:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0001b3yb/s640x480" height="480" width="312" /></span><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0001caad/s640x480" height="480" width="318" /></span><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0001dw35/s640x480" style="height: 346px; width: 203px;" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">and of course, some other little bits that are square.<br /><br />I
had a pattern for a scullcap made from 6 pieces. I wanted 4 so I
quickly made a mockup from the old pattern and cut it into 4 pieces.
Traced one and made another mockup. It fit just right so then I added
the strips at the bottom edge. Mine are 7.5 cm long. The Earflaps I also
experemented a bit. It's great to have those boxes of toile fabrics
(old sheets and bedspreads and leftovers that really cant be used for
anything else). Trial and error is so much easier on the mind if the
fabric's inexpensive. My earflaps just barely meet underneath the chin
when tied together. My earflap turned out to be 17 cm long. The square
pieces were just trial and error as I went a long.<br /><br />So this is how I made it:</span></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Cut
two of B1-B2 pattern piece. Flip pattern piece B2 over for the second
piece which will create a left side and a right side. Cut out the
linings for the earflaps (B3) in a nice contrasting colour. Cut a strip
of fabric 38 cm long and 8 cm wide and another 20 cm long and 12 cm
wide. (B4 and B5)</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Pin and sew the four pieces together. Alternating the pieces B1 and B2. Make sure that the Earflaps end up where you want them!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The
earflaps: Pin the lining right sides facing each other. Sew as close to
the edge as you can. Trim the edges and turn. Press the flaps flat. You
now have something looking like this:</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0001ea2a/s640x480" height="480" width="270" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Take
the longer of the two strips (B4) Start pinning the slashed edges to
the strip. Make sure they are pinned as close together as you can
without letting them overlap. Stitch them all together and back to the
ironing board! Press and fold the strip so it looks like a brim. Sew the
edges together on the wrong side ( the side that goes on the inside of
the cap). Pin the ends into each earflap. Do the same with the
neckslashes. As you’ll notice I’ve made the back strip wider. This is to
make it fit better. When both front and back are pinned to the
earflaps:</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Put
a stitch in along the inner edge at each slit. This makes the
strips/slashes bulge nicely on the outside and the brim to stay put.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Try
it on and adjust the fit by angling the back strip, depending on the
shape of your head you may want to adjust the front strip as well. I had
a steeper angle on the back and none on the front one. Use chalk to
mark the edge. Cut away the excess fabric and fold in the seam allowance
and sew it shut.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Put ties at the end of each earflap. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Done!</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0000dsbq/s640x480" height="480" width="270" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">This is my first "Schlappe" <br /><br />In
trying it out I thought I needed to move the earflaps forwards wich I've
since adjusted accordingly so the pattern you've got above is the new
and improved one! (and one I will probably adjust further still as stated above)</span> </span><br />

<br />
Unless your fabric has a distinct right and wrong side, be sure to mark your pieces so you know wich belong to the left and right stocking. I'm writing from experience here...<br />
<br />
I start out with the back seam of the leg:<br />
As I've sewn the long seam I try it on to make sure the narrowest part at the ankle is as tight as it can be, but still allows my foot to go through. When the leg seam passes this test, I fell the seam.<br />
<br />
Next I add the side gores. When both are sewn in, I again check the fit. Basically I just put it on man make sure that I have enough seam allowance around the foot, and that the gores aren't to large. I then fell those seams.<br />
<br />
Now comes the iffy bit, I do like my stockings to fit snugly and I do not trust my skill in cutting the perfect seam allowance. Thus I put the leg part of the stocking on and stand on the sole piece and pin them together. Here you have to be careful, as you want your seam to follow close to the floor. If you have an able assistant available I suggest using that person to help you with the pinning!<br />
<br />
I sew the sole and leg together, check the fit and then I fell the seams.<br />
<br />
Hem the top of the stocking. <br />
<br />
Done!<br />

This is where my pattern got baptized in blood. When you’re trying to
pin this close to a living, breathing thing there might be a few
accidents…<br />
When the sole is pinned all the way around you should
be left with two triangular holes, one on each side. What I did was to
approximate the size and shape of the hole and cut out a slightly larger
piece that I stuffed in the hole and then I traced the edges. I ended
up with two pieces like these. Remember to mark which piece goes on the
inside of the foot and which on the outside. I also drew arrows showing
me which was down and which end points towards the toes.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Now comes another interesting step –
getting the stocking off. If the stocking is nice and tight around the
ankle your foot won’t get through, but you want it to be as tight as
possible, since the stocking will be less wrinkled in that area.
Carefully try to take the stocking off the leg and move the pins in the
ankle area (marked with red dots on the image)</span></span><br />

We then started on the leg pattern. Take
the fabric and put it on the bias around the leg. Ordinary fabric
(non-knit) is stretchier on the bias and it helps with the fit if the
fabric does have some give to it.<br />
<br />
<i>Adding image that explains the difference of bias and straight. </i><br />
<br />
I
was wearing Capri leggings so we pinned it at the top just below the
knee cap. This is not necessary but was helpful for my friend who’d
never done anything like this since the fabric didn’t “escape” before
she put in those first pins. When you star putting in the pins make sure
you do it as tight as snug as possible, the tighter the better. You
start pinning the fabric in the middle of the back of the leg, just like
those vintage stockings has a seam in the back. Start at the top and
work your way downwards. As yo get to the ankle the fabric gets more and
more wrinkled andyou will have to do the side splits. Those should be
made on both sides of the foot approximately where the anklebone
protrudes: I’ve marked the proper spot on the image.<br />

pinning all the way down to the floor and cut the slits as long as

<br />
<i>I’m trying to make a “how-to” that even a beginner can follow that
can be used in classes or just to hand out to beginners so I’d
appreciate feedback. I will replace and add images when I hacve acces to
a scanner. I do not do drawings on the screen well…</i><br />
I
started out with a big piece of fabric. Choose a fabric that behaves
similarly to the fabric you plan to use in the real stocking. I used
wool that is so unpleasant to wear but in all other ways is as thin and
stretchy as the wool I’m later using in my stockings. Thin wool is
usually more stretchy on the bias than linen so you may have to make a
different pattern for linen stockings if you’re making both.<br />
The
first thing we did was the sole. I stood on the fabric and my friend
traced the foot with the pen slightly angled in under the foot. If you
don’t angle the pen the pattern becomes larger and its harder to get
that nice tight fit, plus that the seam will end up higher:<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/000018wg/s320x240" height="240" width="240" /><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Fig. 1</span></b><br />
<br />
Cut out the sole with a generous seam allowance – mine was around an
inch. You should end up with something similar to this, just with more
seam allowance:<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/000034gp/s320x240" height="240" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<br />
We then started on the leg pattern. Take the fabric and put it on
the bias around the leg. Ordinary fabric (non-knit) is stretchier on
the bias and it helps with the fit if the fabric does have some give to
it.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Making pattern piece A</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"> <span>Get
a piece of paper roughly 60 cm square; Fold it twice (like a napkin).
Now comes the tricky part. To make the desired shape you have to decide
how poofy you want your hat. The width of the hat (i.e. the diameter)
divided in half is measurement A. Measurement B is the bottom edge of
the pattern piece. This you calculate from taking a measure of your
head. I’m bigheaded so I’ve got 61 cm. To get the measurment for the
base just divide by 4. To have some space for hemming witch makes the
hat smaller I’ve got a measure of 16 cm, If I want to wear for example a
kerchief underneath I need to increase to 16,5 or 17 cm. Measurement C
is the length from top to bottom. I got mine by taking a measuring tape
and putting it on top of my head, and standing in front of a mirror
holding the tape measure so I could approximate the length of the
pattern piece, to figure out the bulge bit. Se drawing:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="480" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0000qy9p/s640x480" width="350" /> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Now it's a matter of connecting the
dots. Look at the desired shape and draw yours to look similar. You can
make a mockup of any fairly stiff fabric; I tend to use old sheets or
those cheap Indian bedspreads. Too big is easier to fix than too small. </span></span><br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>You’ll need extra space if wearing coif or kerchief – if possible wear it when testing your pattern.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>When hemming the hat the hat will become smaller allow for that too. Attaching a brim will have the same effect. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Leave enough seam allowance to be able to make adjustments in size. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span>You may want to put in lining if the fabric is itchy, that also affects the size</span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
thing to remember is that any increase or decrease of the measurement B
will be multiplied by four. That means that adding 1 cm width will take
you from hat size 60 to 64! So if the desired change in size isn’t that
big, we’re talking mm. That can usually be solved by moving the seam a
few mm out or inwards.</span></span></div>
<br />
Pattern piece A
done! This is a basic shape that can work on its own, or you can add app
10-15 cm and cut out the front and get the scholars hat that my friend
Renika has made for her husband. <br />Or there’s a bunch of brim options. Instructions for making these will follow in forthcoming posts!</li>

square top and I wanted a more rounded outline, hence 8. Then I
proceeded the same way as I did when making Pattern piece A. <br /><br />On to making the hat:</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Instructions:</span><br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Cut 8 pieces of D and 4 pieces of F, remember to add seam allowance!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Sew the four D pieces together along the sides. Fell the seams. This is the top part of the floppy hat. Now onto the brim:</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">You
need some sort of stiffener to insert into the brim. A straw hat would
be ideal. Reading about other peoples efforts here are some other
options; Cardboard (don’t like water), Parchment (period and expensive),
Plastic sheeting (non period but weather proof), placemats, starched
fabric. A straw hat and cut away the top will also work. Depending on
the stiffness of your fabric there are the possibility that vlieseline
might work for you. You can also sew a piece of milliners wire into the
edge to stiffen it. My options were limited at the time so as this was
mostly intended as an experiment I landed on the option of two plastic
placemats. I cut out the brim in two pieces – pattern F. I proceeded to
cut out the fabric, 4 pieces with seam allowance added.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Put 2
pieces together with right sides facing each other. Sew along the ends
and the outer edge. Trim the allowances and corners and turn. I put some
decorative stitching close to the edge.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Insert the stiffener
and secure it by putting a seam along the inner edge. If you don’t mind
itchy wool on your forehead you may turn in the edges and sew it shut
that way instead.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Make the second half of the brim in the same manner.</span></li>
</ul>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span> <br />
</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Put the two halves together with an overlap. Try it on and adjust it to fit your head. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Sew the two halves together along the inner edge where they overlap and along the edges about 4 cm on both sides.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Pin
the top of the hat to the brim, if the top is slightly large you can
just make pleats evenly to adjust the fit. Sew the parts together.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>I
decided to put a few stitches from the inside of the hat securing it to
the brim about 8 cm from the inner edge so it wouldn’t flop around in
the wind, since my fabric isn’t that heavy.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>When
this is being written I still haven’t gotten around to lining the inner
edge. This is still to be done with something soft, either silk or
velvet. I’ll get a strip roughly the length around my head , ca 65 cm
with added seam allowance which I’ll fold and tack down then securely
sew into place. I will also be adding ties so I can secure it to my
head. Since I often visit a certain windy island…</span></span></li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This hat I made to be worn sort of crashlanding on top of my Wulsthaube and to sport a lot of feathers. It was my first adventure into german 16th century hats other than the Wulsthaube.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is how I made it:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">First
I made a mockup in a stiff cotton fabric similar to those Indian
beadspreads. The first thing to get right was the top part: How big a
square would I need. Then it was the hole for the head. After a few
trial and errors I came up with a pattern that was likely to give me the
look I wanted. This is what I came up with:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Instructions:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEiKMLDzc1KN0SGFSmozdk2uq9S8I9bgbr0GX2DEOI7cy220j3sqWXtGzu2YLPbpbBKCaHE08lk3YSkvpiRKm2YXHNtgcVr5Sv28bEpzkJo_781LSg_FqqsduJVzJ3NmbSl-u2xyw_k4k2Z2nHVyUmCeYh86bxLaxhwNepsvuZEK=" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">First cut two squares 33by 33 cm (add seam allowance) in two different colors. Mine are black and burgundy. </span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
black square will be the outer layer and in this I cut a hole to fit my
head (17 cm diameter). Then I proceeded to make the slashing. This is
what the black piece looked like after I hemmed the slashes:</span><img alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tecedekaxtone/pic/0001ss7k/s640x480" style="height: 397px; width: 542px;" /> </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Then put your two squares together, right sides facing and sew them together all the way round. Turn and press. </span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fold each corner towards the middle so that they all meet and stitch them down.</span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">The top’s done, now onto the brim. </span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">With
a little experimentation I made squares 16 by 8 cm. One black and one
burgundy for each of the “flaps” for the brim. I needed 11 to go around
the hole. </span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sew
two squares together, one of each color, along the long sides. Turn and
press. When all are done pin them to the edge of the hole and secure
them by sewing </span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: small;">Cut
a long strip to cover the edge of the hole. Mine was ca 5 cm by 63 cm.
line the edge of the hole with this. Add ties if needed and you’re done!</span><br />

<br />
Life got in the way, and between work going crazy and prepping for DW I got sidetracked. But thanks to some friends - here is a post that I think just might get spread around:<br />
<br />
<br />
It all started as a rather innocent discussion at the sewing meet. The discussion focused on a rather common topic - has the level of our garb risen to far for newbies to aspire to? Is handsewing the only option etc. It gave me some food for thought and I had an idea for a class - and with some helpful input from among others, Lia, Kathryn and Helwig, I got started on a lecture about the basics of textile knowledge and what every seamstress should know about fibres.<br />
<br />
Part of this lecture included the fire testing of fabrics - different fibres beahave and smell differently and often you can figure out what you've got by just setting it on fire!<br />
<br />
I grabbed a bunch of different fabrics from my scrap basket and went to a colleagues place and spent some time burning holes in it. Back at another sewing meet a chance remark about silk veils being very flammable made me realize I had not burned any veils of any material.<br />
<br />
Back home I set up as safe an experiment zone as I could. Pulled the batteries out of the smoke detector, filled a pot with water and turned on the ventilation above the stove on max. I got out a piece of silk veil, sheer cotton, linen and I also sacrificed a piece of my precious wool muslin.<br />
<br />
I tried to be as scientific as I could about the whole thing. Each piece was to be subjected to the same:<br />
<br />
Held in flame from a lighter for max 10 sec, or until it caught and then either blow it out or dunk it in the water. If I had to drown it to kill it, I'd let it dry before test two: hold the fabric flat and above a flame until it caught fire.<br />
<br />
This is the result:<br />

</tbody></table>
The wool and the linen self extinguished as I removed it from the flame. The cotton had to have a bath and the silk I dropped in a hurry....<br />
The sheer silk in a windfree environment definitely does not self extinguish as the thicker kinds of silk do, and it burned so rapidly I dint want to do the second test on what remained.<br />
<br />
As I held my class at Double Wars I realized that how much more a simple testing of fibres to resolve the fibre content of a fabric, had as a value - since we do hang around fire a lot! Like some of the parents in the group commented - to think that some people clothe their children in syntetic fleece! if they only knew...<br />
<br />
I will definitely continue on this avenue -and I think my lecture will evolve for Cudgel Wars - I'll keep you posted!Tece de Kaxtonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11639954499841247874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2763096574570359097.post-77018347405086937902015-03-31T03:41:00.003-07:002015-03-31T03:41:26.449-07:00The hoarder confesses, part 2<div>
I started to take pictures of all my stuff, and boy, there were some. So now I continue to share images of my successful hunts, just to show what may be found in a Swedish "Loppis"</div>

I'm always on the look out for things that can fit in to my medievalist hobby. Throughout the years the hoard has grown, and I just can't stop gathering! I often lend people stuff when they've forgotten for example their feast great. Trust me, you don't have to worry if you by accident break it, I really, really have more....<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Often people ask where I get it from, and sometimes how I know what's good and what's not. It all comes down to getting a feel for what might work, both from an aesthetic point of view and from the historic corrected ness view. Look at reproductions, look at paintings and drawings, trawl through the museum image data base. Then you hopefully will have that 'third eye' for what looks good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I started to take pictures of all my stuff, and boy, there were some. So now I plan to share images of my successful hunts, just to show what may be found in a Swedish "Loppis"</div>

Since I use this one at work I thought it might be a good idea to swap to this one :)Tece de Kaxtonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11639954499841247874noreply@blogger.com0
